impair proper mirror performance. (Examples: no parking stickers or
hanging tags.)
Ensure the mirror is pulled down low enough to prevent visibility
interference with the overhead console. The mirror support arm has two
pivot points which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from

Without Navigation System
With Navigation System
The mirror will automatically return to the clear state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on).
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. The compass is continuously re-calibrating due to changing
magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle magnetics which can
occur over the life of the vehicle. If heading appears inaccurate
re-calibrate mirror, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels of
magnetic interference are experienced (such as steel bridges). The
compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized
area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to “C”. If a “C” is
displayed, remove the source of magnetic interference and re-calibrate
compass, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. A correct zone
setting will eliminate this error. You MUST set the mirror to the proper
zone to get an accurate compass reading, refer toCompass zone
adjustment.
